Autor

Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933) was born into a wealthy family in northern Japan and grew up questioning the class disparities of his time. He became a devout Buddhist and teacher of poor farmers, writing poems and children's stories depicting the interconnectedness of things in a fantasy-world setting. He published few books before his death at the age of 37 but achieved wide acclaim posthumously, including for the widely-adapted novella Night on the Galactic Railroad. His poem "Strong in the Rain" became an anthem of survival following the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in northern Japan. He now features as a character in the hugely popular Bungo Stray Dogs manga and anime TV series. Yasuko Sakuno is a manga artist based in Kyoto. She is the author of the series The Conditions for Being a Princess, the cat essay collection I Get Along Without You Very Well, and the office romance Why Me? Moss Quanci is a translator and writer based in Seattle. She translated the manga edition of Kenji Miyazawa's A Night on the Galactic Railway and is working on a complete translation of Miyazawa's poetry collection, Spring and Asura.
